Generic classification

One has to know what topographic features need names on the map!

• Define feature categories suitable to the landscape
  
  
  • streams vs. canals
    
    
  • swamps vs. marshes
    
    
• Avoid feature distinctions based on size (because it will be difficult in the field to assess the relative size):
  
  
  • creeks vs. rivers
    
    
  • hills vs. mountains
